Jamestown (CSi) Jamestown Arts Center held a public demonstration at the Hansen Arts Park, in downtown Jamestown, on Monday.  The purpose was to watch sculptor Owen Fritts work on the “Prairie Grass Ballet,”  ask questions, and learn about the process that goes into creating a sculpture.

Fritts has been working on the sculpture for five weeks, and expects it to be completed in the next couple of weeks.
